• Asian Flavors: Roti Shop

    February 11, 2020 by

    The roti was flaky, soft, and buttery – just the perfect texture and flavor. The rich aromatic curry sauce also differed from the norm in its hint of lemongrass.

  • NEW: Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory Café

    February 3, 2020 by

    Overall, I found the food to be satisfying. The only thing that marred my experience was the poor service and/or miscommunication. When I asked to order the Milk Pie, I was told they were still being prepared and that I would be informed once there were any updates. I asked four more times and was told there were still none. I understood completely. Until I saw four different people being served milk pies.

  • Premier the Samgyupsal

    February 1, 2020 by

    By now, much has been said about unlimited Korean barbecue restaurants. But sometimes it feels like a quantity vs. quality sort of thing… and oftentimes, quality loses. Not with Premier.

  • Spicy Wonton Heaven: Mien San

    January 29, 2020 by

    My favorite dish here forever and ever is the Spicy Wonton. It’s honestly the best spicy wonton I’ve ever had. I know it doesn’t look like much but the cliché applies here – don’t judge a book by its cover.

  • The New Best Gift: The Rustic Nook

    December 19, 2019 by

    This is the kind of gift that, once you receive it, you’ll know for sure that the gift giver loves you A LOT. Because I don’t think I could part with even one cookie after tasting it.

    December 5, 2019 by

    So there’s this restaurant that we stumbled across during our first trip to Japan in 2015. It felt like a long shot to find it this time. But lo and behold, when we turned left, we saw it.

  • Japan 2019 Part 3: Kobe

    November 26, 2019 by

    What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Kobe? If you said Bryant or Paras you’re wrong because it’s BEEF.

  • Japan 2019 Part 1: Ichiran

    November 17, 2019 by

    During our first family trip to Japan, I was quite vocal about my dislike for ramen. A few people immediately messaged me to tell me their non-ramen loving ways were changed by a particular ramen chain – Ichiran.

  • Childhood Comfort Food: El Pollo Loco

    February 16, 2020 by

    The flame-grilled chicken is quite good on its own, especially that addicting crispy skin! But it pairs exceptionally well with the salsa, which is what sets El Pollo Loco apart from other commercial chicken restaurants.
